I always though Swift irked them because she comes from a country background, is attractive in that Conservative way (slim, blonde) but they view her as a "traitor".

I get why, but its also funny that now is the time they've decided to go all in on Swift (although that video comparing her labia to a ham roll must be several years old now). If anything, I thought they would have come for her for "You Need to Calm Down" which supported the gays enough to iritate conservatives, but in such an anodyne, girlboss way it pissed off leftists.

Maybe it's the circles I'm in, but I'm seeing a lot of "never Biden" posting for honestly frankly understandable and principled reasons.

How likely is that to be much of a threat? I'm assuming a lot of those people vote independently or not at all anyway.

What sorts of people are they? Are they full-on MAGA cultists just astroturfing or are they more sane/left and just want Biden nailed on his support for Israel? I think the latter can be reasoned with. Maybe.

The latter, with a bit of generalised dissatisfaction. I understand the dissatisfaction, but hope they see sense if this is looking close. Perhaps easy for me to say since I'm not American so won't have to vote.

IMO it really happened, but it was a setup. Not to go to bat for :smugdon:, but procuring high-end hookers and having them do pee stuff on a bed Obama supposedly slept in is wayyyyyy too intelligent/creative for Trump

Now if he was zooted out of his mind on Russian Adderall, and a Putin croney said "hey, these ladies want to show you a very special show, and we can do it on the bed Obama slept on!"... :shrug:, seems like the kind of idiotic situation :chaostrump: would willingly walk right into, and also seems like the kind of kompromat Putin/Russia likes to work in

Yeah, I tend to agree, I just think his base would ignore it/spin it positively or claim its fake anyway, so it's interesting to me that he's so sensitive about this specific thing.

Holy poo poo I never heard this and it's incrediblly dumb but definitely something Trump said to women many times.

It's a pretty old gag - John Landis used to sneak it into some of his movies, for example, there's a cinema playing a film by that name in American Werewolf in London.

Edit: Landis actually does a play on it with "See You Next Wednesday" which is much funnier.

I mean, he is occasionally funny in the same way that a 12 year old on a bike can land incredible drive-by insults sometimes, and can be surprisingly camp and catty, but I wouldn't want to associate with either of them.

I can't get too mad at people mispronouncing words; it's pretty common with auto-dictats who've only read, but never heard, a word and can be used as a cudgel to beat working class people with.

Doubling down and claiming your pronunciation is correct is something else entirely, though.

That's the thing though, isn't it. It isn't just "mispronouncing" so much as "completely misunderstanding the nature of the concept". I have painfully taught myself to be descriptivist thanks to many run-ins on these here forums but I persist in thinking there is a whole lot to be studied linguistically about people who think, for example:

Like okay, she got it wrong and is doubling down because she is incapable of understanding how dumb and uneducated she is. But it also should be alarming in that it indicates that there have to be more people out there who think "inalienable" has something to do with a bank coming to take away your rights because you haven't paid your rights rent. And that puts kind of a profound and worrisome spin on people's popular conception of "rights".

Or another example I often bring up: "tax returns". People think, apparently, that what happens on April 15th is that the government "returns" money to you that they have borrowed from you over the course of the year. Which, in many people's cases, is effectively true, because they've overpaid for one reason or another. For many people the opposite is true, they owe the government money because they've underpaid. But people use "tax return" when what they mean is "tax refund", and rather than just assuming it's a silly malapropism, I tend to think it's actually indicative of a pervasive idea among the groundswell of weirdo sovcit type people who think taxes are fundamentally your money and the thieving government is just borrowing it from you without your permission. Then they "return" it to you at "tax return" time. That feels to me like a real problem in a country where we have to fight tooth and nail for the very survival of the idea of a government funded by taxes at all!

So when Boebert or whoever says something like "there enlies" and tries to pass it off as a "typo", like the keys were just close together and she hit the wrong button or something, I am not prepared to give her a pass for just being careless. She is being uneducated and she is trying to use vocabulary she doesn't have a grasp of. She's intrinsically lying about what she knows about how to use language. And I find that a lot more worrisome in a public figure than a "typo".

By the way, an underappreciated Jacob Wohl front-stoop symposium was the one where he had some woman stand at the podium to read a prepared statement about whatever wild allegation it was (maybe it was the one where he tried to frame Mueller for being a sex pest who had assaulted her? I can't remember). And it was supposedly a statement that she had written herself. But when she got to the word "undeterred", she pronounced it "un-deetered". Which obviously implies that she was handed this sheet of paper by Wohl just that moment, because she wasn't even familiar with the word. And everyone goes "aw, shucks, lol" at the funny lying guy. But well .... here we are now with the House of Representatives being taken over and eaten from the inside by people who uncomprehendingly read words off sheets and use terminology they have no comprehension of, and we're letting them off the hook because of :decorum: and letting them pass them off as "typos" and simple mistakes.

Roast me if you want but I think if there's one place we need standards of meaning it's in our goddamn legislature

No, I think this is a good post and I think you highlight an important distinction between roasting people because their mispronounciations mark them as part of an out-group (usually working-class autodictats) and shifting meaning by sheer brute force. And there can be overlap when there's disingenuous appeal to a populists vs elites narrative.

I kinda wonder if all the in-dick-ta-bull and ina-lien-a-bull and there enlies poo poo is like how scam emails will sometimes intentionally misspell stuff and be obviously janky on purpose. People who notice or care about the weird malapropisms weren't likely to listen to what they had to say anyway, so anyone who makes it past that screening process is an easy mark for the actual content.

Perhaps not that, and I wouldn't go as far as to say its intentional, but it makes it really easy for people to call the mistakes out and for them to counter "oh, I'm sorry my down-home folksy spelling offends you more than indoctrinating children?"
